Luis D'Acosta | Source | CEO at Uplight

I lead Uplight’s efforts to accelerate decarbonization of energy through demand-side solutions. Uplight is the market-leading energy customer engagement, enrollment, and load flexibility SaaS platform for energy providers. As CEO, I’m focused on scaling our reach and deepening our relationships with our utility clients, energy customers, and ecosystem partners.

Prior to joining Uplight, I led the Digital Energy line of business at Schneider Electric, responsible for accelerating the digitization of power networks by building and implementing new technology solutions, reimagining how buildings of the future could interact with energy.

As an electrical engineer with over 25 years of experience in the electric power industry, I have diverse proficiency in deploying solutions for generation, transmission, distribution and industrial systems.

I have had the opportunity to lead multinational teams in senior management positions at Schneider Electric, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), and other large technology companies.

I am an Electromechanical Engineer and I hold an MBA with a specialization in global finance and marketing and a Master’s in Business Management from Thunderbird School of Global Management (Phoenix, Arizona).
